True but you’re playing with fire. 3 of these teams will lose a ton of players, and have to fork over even more money or lose more kids to the Portal due to this though. And IU will no longer get the Cignetti discount this off season either. He and IU got to be cheap with a number of small school kids. Those types aren’t going to IU for cheap next year, especially if they win it all

Its a heck of a gamble. But again, I like the approach OSU has had with the mix of HS and Portal guys. Like @jwinslow said, you can’t keep upping the ante. Theres a fine line between LSU and Ole Miss in the Portal. LSU was ranked #2 in the 2025 Portal and Ole Miss #3… Oregon and Miami were #4 and 5. But 6,7, 8 and 9 were: Mizzou, Auburn, UNC and Rutgers. And #10 was the Buckeyes(with the least amount of transfers in the top 10)

I know CFB is a very frustrating cluster F right now.

Another thing is there's not enough data to know if this year is an anomaly or the new normal. Last year I don't believe the final four teams were transfer heavy. I know Texas, OSU, Notre Dame, and maybe Penn State brought in some dudes but their roster was mostly comprised of juniors and seniors that had been there for years. Hell Texas probably would've been in the playoffs this year if they were able to keep Ewers around.

Up until this year transfer heavy schools and schools just wildly throwing around money never made much noise in the end. Who knows if that's changing.

Yup, with no end in sight. NCAA keeps wanting Congress to step in, so they’re going to let all rules go out the window until it happens.

Sometimes everything needs to meltdown to it's lowest point.

It's a legal fine line, because the schools can't collude together, and how do you salary cap?

Soon unsustainable and unwatchable. Once the rivalry games get watered down and they will without a doubt, there will not be anything exciting about it.

The problem is, it is sustainable to be this ridiculous since programs and conferences now are introducing private equity. And soon enough the Saudis could get involved. But I digress. Let’s get this convo back on Scott. We can continue this convee in the Transfer Portal thread

I'm at the point now where I'm not quite as invested in college football as I used to be. Feels really stale now with all the changes. Doesn't help that we laid an egg at the end of the season.

I think it’s exciting. I think those that transferred out .. the position coach gave them what next year might be. Some will stay and bet on themselves others see the writing on the wall and move on. Caleb Downs ended up one of my favorite Buckeyes ..

This is not one of the good transfers. There is some general fallout after the way the season ended and some guys were going pro regardless, but there will end up being quite a few transfers that the staff didn't want. Scott is as good as gone from what I understand and we would have relied on him heavily next year, but now we're scrambling in the portal to find comparable talent that is far from guaranteed.

I wish Aaron nothing but the best, but hopefully the staff can stop the bleeding on remaining players eligible to return.

CFP playoff has a final four of Miami, Ole Miss, Oregon, and fucking world beating juggernaut Indiana. How is that stale?

Not gonna lie, whenever I hear fans espouse this, it's always fans of blue blood programs who are upset their programs can't stack talent anymore due to NIL and the portal. College football definitely has issues but this is the most parity the sport has seen in decades. Possibly ever. Certainly within my lifetime.
